Wow I just checked the thread, most seem to be "online memesters" but there also seem to be some really bad people on there. I didn't understand the nature of the site. I'll remove my opening post - thanks for pointing this out.

However, the fact that NZ police are looking for personal information of the site members, especially since the site is hosted outside NZ and by a non-NZ citizen still doesn't sit well with me.

>If that maintainer of that site is serving content to New Zealand, that it seems reasonable that he should be beholden to NZ laws.

On what planet is this reasonable? If I set up a website accessible to the world, I should be beholden to the laws of all the lands? Am I misinterpreting?

Sure, the meat of what I thought interesting was the initial email. I thought it was concerning that the NZ police were looking to get IP/email addresses of people merely conversing about the attacker.

The rest of the thread is just funny because the police respond in the best way possible to the site operator's freakout.

EDIT: removed because I did not realize what kind of website the site I linked was.
